As part of Manchester City’s attempt to buy every player on the face of the Earth, the club are making a large offer to lure Chelsea defender and leader John Terry over to their side. While not much was thought of the idea in the beginning, John Terry has yet to say he is uninterested in the substantial amount of money he would receive were he to join Mark Hughes and his side, increasing the speculation that maybe this past season was Terry’s last at Stamford Bridge.

At this point, things can almost only be bad for Chelsea. While they have insisted that Terry is not for sale, were Terry to come out and say that it is his desire to join Manchester City, Chelsea’s hand would be forced. And that would not leave a pretty picture for the Blues. Not only would Terry cause much angst within the club if he left, but there would be a gaping hole at the central defender position. Chelsea might try and make a move to replace him if he were to leave, but it’s not like there are a boatload of John Terry’s out there just waiting to be snatched up by any club that needs one.
